Face it guys, controllers are f*cking expensive. If you want them on the cheap, look in thrift stores/the places that sell other stores returned merchandise and show moedels. I got my xbox 360 wireless controllers for $5 a piece cause "they were missing the aentenna". I wasnt going to tell the dumbass working there they dont need one.

and they just keep on POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you and POUNDING you ...

Right, because nobody has spent like $100 on Xbox live games (not to mention the $50 yearly subscription fee), and nobody is going to spend hundreds on classic game downloads on the Wii. Or how about buying the DS twice in two years? Right. All other video game systems are cheap!!!!

Thats right Lupinthethird, no one is going to spend hundreds of dollars on VC games, they are going to spend a few dollars reliving past gaming experiences, not buying every title. And About the DS, no one forces you to buy the new model. And you are not supposed to have multiple Wii Controlers, Your friend is supposed to come with his, with all his information on it, like a memory card. a single person should only need 1 Wiimote.

People don't realize that the Wii cost the same amount as the PS3, post-launch. Buy three extra Wiimotes, three extra Nunchuku, three extra WiiRetro. And you're looking at $550.00 without even buying a game yet. Not to mention, if you didn't own a Gamecube before, you need to buy controllers and memory cards for that. $600.00.
$600.00 for a Gamecube with an extra 512MB of RAM with a light-gun attached to it?
I'll take the $600 PS3... because it's a killer deal. For that power, I should pay $1,200.

Besides, gaming revolutions come via third party developers. Nintendo has never, ever showed support for third party developers. They want their systems to be all about their Marios, Peaches, Bowsers, DKs, etc. While Sony's systems aren't associated with anything due to the vast library of games it has.
Want to pay $600 for three year old hardware? Be my guest. I would rather pay $600 for next year's hardware that should cost me $1,200.
